Fostering ayurvedic plant wellness: Innovative leaf disease detection using computer vision and machine learning

Ayurveda is a conventional medicinal approach that has its roots in India and has been used for hundreds of years. It is still popular today since it is entirely natural and free of side effects. Although ayurvedic medicines are made from natural botanical substances, their safety depends on the way they are administered, taking into account the needs of the individual and the specific disease states they are treating. Diseases that affect the plants' leaves are regarded to be one of the main reasons for a decline in the output of ayurvedic plants in India's agricultural, economic, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors. A plant exhibits signs of plant diseases in diverse sections of the plant, however, leaves are the most frequently observed component for spotting an infection. The objectives of this work are to modernize and innovate an autonomous ayurvedic plant leaf disease detection system by examining the scientific basis of computer vision. Additionally, a full analysis of computer vision techniques such as image pre-processing, segmentation, and feature extraction is covered to detect defects in plant leaves. This work investigates cutting-edge machine learning methods for identifying plant diseases that employ a variety of computer vision techniques. Based on the review, the article addresses the challenges and offers recommendations for changes that could be made in the future.

Deep autoencoder based image enhancement approach with hybrid feature extraction for plant disease detection using supervised classification

Plant leaf diseases pose significant threats to global agriculture, leading to reduced crop yields and economic losses. Rapid and accurate disease detection is essential for timely interventions and sustainable farming practices. This study presents an innovative approach for plant leaf disease detection by integrating wavelet analysis, color, and texture features, coupled with autoencoder denoising and support vector machine (SVM) classification. Wavelet analysis is employed to extract multi-resolution features, capturing intricate details at different scales. Furthermore, color and texture characteristics are extracted to encompass a broad spectrum of visual information crucial for distinguishing diseases. The Autoencoder model helps to enhance the feature representation that mitigates the impact of noise and irrelevant data. The SVM classifier is utilized to learn complex patterns and accurately classify different disease classes. The combined model of wavelet, color, and texture attributes, in combination with autoencoder denoising and SVM classification, markedly enhances the precision and efficiency of disease detection in contrast to conventional methods. The system's performance is evaluated using a PlantVillage dataset, showcasing its adaptability to different plant species and disease types. The overall performance is obtained as 98.60%, 97.25%, 96.89%, and 97.20% in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F-Score, respectively.

An Improve Method for Plant Leaf Disease Detection and Classification using Deep Learning

In countries like India, whose important occupation is agriculture, face a huge loss when the crops get affected by any type of disease. These diseases attack the crops in various stages and can destroy the entire production. Since most diseases are transmitted from one crop to another there is an essential requirement to detect the type of disease in the early stage so that farmers can take the required action to “save the crops” and production. Early disease detection is one of the essential activities for enhancing agricultural productivity. Diseases spread very quickly in the parts of the leaves that affect the growth of the plants. Early detection is a challenging task as the symptoms are mild for accurate identification.
